I nearly screwed the pooch once again. A 15mph turn, taken not quite too fast. Scraped the hell out of the left peg, and dragged the kick stand. Scared the crap out of me, as it was dragging my bike down.
Lifted the bike up, so it wasn't dragging and now I'm headed for the woods. Lots of lean and correction and back and forth, and I managed to keep the bike on the road and made the turn. Barely. It was pretty darn hairy.
I shouldn't have dragged anything on that turn. I was going pretty quick, sure, but not too quick. My form was assed and the bike was way too leaned over.
Just a side road on the way to work. I was shaking for an hour after I got there.
The moral of the story is that it's been weeks since I've got to ride up and run my twisties. I was rusty. Gotta keep it current, or back down.
